A system (2) and method of measuring bioelectric signals generated by an individual (5), inclusive of humans or other living organisms, comprises a plurality of sensors (17, 18, 301-317), at least one of the plurality of sensors (17, 18, 301-317) being constituted by a capacitive-type sensor ( 17). Sensor (17) has an associated insulated layer of material (155) preventing the conduction of direct current between an electrode (150) and individual (5), wherein a bioelectric signal of individual (5) can be measured underwater.
